CONFIGURE FILE
You can configure mozplugger by changing the file mozpluggerrc which
can be located in any of the following directories:
$HOME/.netscape/
$HOME/.opera/
$MOZILLA_HOME/
$OPERA_HOME/
/usr/local/netscape/mozpluggerrc
/etc/mozpluggerrc
/usr/etc/mozpluggerrc
/usr/local/etc/mozpluggerrc
etc...
I would have thought $HOME/.mozilla and $HOME/.phoenix (presumably
eventually $HOME/.firefox) would be naturals for this list, but for
some reason, they're not there.

BUGS
You have to remove ~/.netscape/plugin-list or ~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat
after changing the configuration, or nothing will happen. This is a
netscape bug, not a MozPlugger bug.

No idea there. FC1 is at mozplugger-1.3.2-1 in any case.

Or edit something else on the above list.
